As per the latest reports, the share prices for Facebook have experienced a 4.9% fall. The loss was recorded following claims made by an employee of the social media giant. The whistleblower was a woman who revealed her identity and went against the social media giant for its hostile acts. The woman has accused Facebook of going against the democracy and betraying it. The woman reportedly leaked out documentation from Facebook and shared them with Congress and The Wall Street Journal. She revealed that the executives at the social media platform were fully aware of how their platform would impact the mental condition of the youngsters.

In addition to Facebook, another major social media platform “Twitter” has experienced a 5.8% drop in its share prices. Twitter ended up facing a downtrend due to the same regulatory concerns raised by the investors in the whistleblowers’ dilemma.

The next company on the list is Ford Motor. The data shows that the share prices for Ford Motor have experienced a 1.3% rise.
